ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the usefulness of MRI for predicting pelvic control (PC) of cervical cancer treated with radiation therapy (RT). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Forty-four cervical cancer patients treated with definitive RT were retrospectively analyzed. MRIs were completed before and after RT, and the longest diameter (LD) of the residual tumor was measured on post-RT MRI. Pathologic evaluation for residual tumor was also performed. Therapeutic response was assessed using MRI. Median follow-up time for the 44 patients was 34 months. The correlations between PC rate, MRI, and pathological findings were investigated.RESULTS:
The 3-year PC rates of LD = 0 cm (n = 23) after RT, 0 < LDCONCLUSION:
MRI is useful for predicting PC in cervical cancer treated with RT, and LD greater than 2 cm after RT is a good marker for poor PC.
